About The Cedars School
Welcome to Fidelis College
Co-ed from September 2025 for ages 4-18
Oakwood, The Cedars and The Laurels Schools are transitioning to a Co-ed through school, with a continued emphasis on character formation alongside academic excellence, underpinned by a Catholic ethos.
At Fidelis College, all our Staff see themselves as vital partners with parents in the education of their children. The basis of this partnership is loyal, mutual understanding of each other’s complementary roles.
At Fidelis College, we pioneer a personalised tutorial system. The tutorial system seeks to integrate the pursuit of academic excellence, life skills and the integral development of the student’s character through the pursuit of virtue and noble ideals.
At Fidelis College, character education is rooted in school life. We emphasise the acquisition of virtue, those good habits – habits of mind, habits of heart and habits of action - that help us to become morally mature and self-directing in life – to be truly free. Freedom not seen as mere freedom from constraints but as a capacity to carry noble convictions into action. To acquire virtue, we need guidance and practice and at Fidelis these virtues are taught within the perennial values of the teachings of the Catholic Church.
